Essential Oils for Facing Death

Essential Oils for Facing Death

Using essential oils for facing death goes back thousands of years. Hence, throughout time, people have burned incense around the dying and the dead, believing that the aroma will take the soul to heaven.

Also, we display flowers at funerals, and it is tradition to give strongly scented ones. It seems like essential oils continue this custom.

The Subject of Death

Facing death is one of the most difficult things we do as humans — whether you are religious or not. And whether or not you believe in heaven or hell, specific beliefs don’t always make facing death any easier. As a result, everyone copes with the idea of death, and facing it themselves, differently.

Whether it’s your own death or that of a loved one, death seems like a frightening, unknown experience, no matter how brave one seems to be. Therefore, we would certainly recommend you read books on near-death experience and facing death. Death is almost never a trivial experience. Rather, it is the biggest transition we make in this life.
